Whoa. Let's work backwards here. If we were to look up "redundant" in a modern-day Devil's dictionary, I wouldn't be surprised if "awards ceremonies" were under it. We've got the Oscars, the Golden Globes, People's Choice, best movie song and best song from a movie, etc.
I don't think you have much to worry about the OJA franchise. The Pulitzers have chosen to stick with newspapers and newspaper-affiliated sites. (Magazines have to yearn for ASME's plainly-titled National Magazine Awards.) So the OJA's road is wide open.
The SPJ has a clever way of splitting up their awards: deadline and non-deadline. It doesn't discriminate based on delivery, but it does based on what you deliver on time. I think that's a fair distinction.
